Hi, I have a dataframe, y, with 1000 rows and 266 columns. The first column of y is a 2 level factor response; columns 2:266 are each ordinal variables that can take on one of the values 1, 2, or 3. I'm trying to fit a model with the calls: (A) y.tree <- tree(pref~.,data=y,mindev=0,minsize=2) and (B) y.tree <- tree(pref~.,data=y,split='gini') pref is the name of the factor response variable. In (A) I can fit a model using only about 600 rows of y before getting the error message below and in (B) I can only use about 100 rows of y before I get the error message. In both (A) and (B) I'm trying to use all 265 variables. The error message is: Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(*tmp*, value = fit$node[1:n]) : duplicate row.names are not allowed If instead of using tree() I use rpart() with the call (C) y.part <- rpart(pref~.,data=y,method="class",parms=list(split="gini")) the model can be fit using all the data in y, and no error messages. Thanks in advance. m ****************************************************************** | Michael Fugate Phone: (505) 667-0398 | | Los Alamos National Laboratory Fax: (505) 665-5220 | | Group: CCS-3, Mail Stop: B265 e-mail: fugate at lanl.gov | | Los Alamos, NM 87545 | ****************************************************************** -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
